After years of work and literally thousands of iterations, I’ve finally published a full Version 1.0 of Name Sans, an extensive type family inspired by the gorgeous mosaic name tablets of the NYC Subway.

Built with AT Name Sans, @coldtypexyz, and @cavalry__app, and original music by Jesús.
P.S. if you’re looking to animate your own logos, fonts, infographics... you should reach out to Jesús. He has some skills!
5️⃣ TYPO : Name Mono (@ArrowType) est une interprétation numérique des tablettes de noms en mosaïque du métro de New York. J’aime tout particulièrement l’italic.

Name Sans v0.10 is now released on @futurefonts! I had originally intended to release v1.0 by now, but... I keep finding more things to improve. Still, I’ve made a bunch of significant improvements, and I wanted to make them available! Read more about it:

Popping in with an Adobe Illustrator InDesign bug that need attention:

Please upvote, comment, and RT here so we can annoy Adobe into finally fixing this long-standing variable font bug. 🙏
Luckily, there is a workaround that font producers can use to avoid the bug, but it shouldn’t be required. Distinct entries for nameID 25 seem to hack around the bug.

Today, I’m excited to release new, improved licensing for my fonts! That may sound strange if you are into fonts for their aesthetics rather than for their licensing (i.e. you are a normal person).
arrowtype.com/ArrowType-EULA…
If you are an existing customer and you would like to upgrade to the new EULA, please send me an email to let me know! I’m happy to upgrade you at no additional cost.
The new EULA is now available on @futurefonts for each of my three retail fonts (Name Sans, Lang, and Kyrios – each used here in this image).
And, as always, if you have any questions my fonts or my license, please let me know!
So cool to see @typogramco launch with Recursive as a primary UI font!
It’s an awesome app from an awesome creator. Go upvote them on ProductHunt, and check them out!
